Consultation and Multicultural Services

We value the uniqueness and diversity of all students. We are dedicated to creating an environment where all students feel welcome.

Cultural competence in the delivery of services is important to the psychological well-being of all students. Each student's identity is influenced by many factors - family upbringing, religion, race, gender and sexual orientation. Since many of these identities are learned early in life, they work as a lens for interpreting, understanding, experiencing and participating in the world as well as a way of connecting with an identifying with others. All CHD clinicians strive to obtain an understanding of the ways in which these experiences may relate to a student's presenting concerns.
